switched my pick to ichiro for the day. he doesnt go hitless 2days in a row often and i dont see it happening here. he also probably want revenge on anderson for keeping him hitless in their first meeting this year. another good option today is any rockies player against john maine who always gives up a ton of hits

It’s not only Anderson Ichiro is having problems with. He isn’t hitting lefties this year at all as he’s hitting at a .083 clip against lefties so yeah. I’m not saying change him but those are the facts about Ichiro.

Considered Davis but am going with the Yankees today. Home opener, ring ceremony, etc. etc. Jeter or Granderson -much can be said for either choice (not to mention the daily pick factor) despite the fact they’re playing LAA.

I think Ichiro goes hitless today and tomorrow. Has anybody tried out this system: Choose 19 players who are most likely to get a hit. Then pick each of them 3 times. That will get you to 57 and the $3 Million. That likely won’t happen but at least you will be able to see what kind of record that you can compile, maybe 50-7.

Jeter goes deep in 3rd inning my BTS extends and my HR BTS is now at one!
Yankee Stadium is a launching pad. Is it that way for day and night games or just day games? NYY fan please tip us off.(vinny1979)
I’ll post tomorrow about weather conditions in Chicago for Cubs v. Brewers at Wrigley Field Wed and Thursday afternoon games. The wind may be blowing from S or SW out toward centerfield and temp around 80 degrees.
This is a recipe for HR derby type of games unless starter are in top form.

OKAY anyone posting on here and wanting to get in our little group. the group name is “the bloggers”
right now we have that unlucky (or lucky) number of 13 people there.
and Stephanie. apparently when you join a group, it does not take your whole year into account, in groups, the streak starts when you join a certain group. so that is why its showing your down one on the hit streak.

Good afternoon guys, read you guys everyday and decided for a change to post something. Good luck to those of you waiting for a hit tonight, and the 25% of you who picked jeter, he just homered. I knew the percentage was gonna be high (didn’t think that high) for him so i stayed away. I’m alot happier with that choice now that Podsednick just singled to take me to 10. Anyone know about how many ppl still have the full streak goin?

Yeah, but there is a crystal clear selection in Jeter today.

25.7% of all players had him!

So, the only reason to switch, is if you wanted to try and hope for everyone to lose, but it is too early to find much value in that type of strategy.

champion if your wondering i didnt switch my pick from jeter to ichiro. so the fact that 25% picked had nothing to do with me switching my pick. i switched to ichiro from rowand and im not looking at maines career stats. i pay attention to the last few years where he has be prone to giving up a good amount of hits per outing. when he first came up his ability to gets guys out was much better but now hitters have figured him out so that career line doesnt tell the whole truth about maine

Wednesday April 14 looks promising:
Utley v. Stammen and the Washington Bullpen
Werth is 3 -3 v. Stammen and hitting over .350
Out of the box pick: Cubs Fukadome is hitting .400
Podsednik KC and Francour NYM are on an ubelieveable tears
Holiday Cards at home v. Myers
I’m lost in the potential picks.
hamannm – who do you like?

I told you all that Ichiro wasn’t hitting lefties and sure enough he had another 0 for day. Second in a row which means he is due for a hit one would think. I’m back up to 5 and only missed that one day last week. Damn, that’s killing me right now but over 700 people lost their streaks today alone so it’s starting to thin out already. I have Holliday for tomorrow as he looks like a sure thing and I will say something that I did after Thursday.

My number was wrong with how many people lost their streaks. It’s 350 people that lost their streaks in one day not 700. My bad. Also Holliday is hitting .435 against righties this year but isn’t hitting lefties either. Myers is a right and he hits him at a .600 clip so he’s my pick.
